  1. My coins arrived last saturday (travelled really fast!). I really like them!
  2. My coin has been moved from Greece to Italy, but the cacher doesn't follow the rules. Wasn't patient enough to wait until the coin was logged into the cache in Italy and grabbed it instead (which breaks the rules), and then he dipped the coin several times in caches (which breaks the rules again)... I have written down the rules on the coin page, but some cachers don't seem to care about it Not sure about it, but I guess all the miles the coin has travelled so far are for nothing
  3. The last time when I visited my parents I had solved a puzzle at home and just wanted to go to the coords to log the cache. It was hidden in front of a museum inside of a Transrapid-Train (well, not inside the cabin, but below, inside the mechanics). I searched for almost an hour, there were sooo many posibilities for a cache! Just the moment I decided to give up another cacher showed up and we searched together for another 45 minutes. Then he called a third cacher who had already found this cache and he described where the cache should be. But it wasn't. In the end we decided (and we were right) that this cache is gone and we left. Couldn't find the cache, but I guess now I can repair a Transrapid, at least I know every wire and every screw inside there
  4. A DNF from yesterday (or was it today? It must have been around midnight...). I was caching together with matlock75 and it was already late in the evening. We just wanted to to one more cache so that matlock75 could reach a total of 150 caches and passed by a cache called "Bio-Basketball". There was a tree and it was obvious that the cache must be in the tree at about 3 m height. No problem, I could climb on Holgers shoulders and reach for the cache... but oh... on the side where we could reach the cache the whole tree was full of ants Big ants, thousands of big ants None of us wanted to fight with them, so we passed this one and found another one for Holgers little milestone.
  5. I saved my "coin money" for these Now let's see if I want a complete set or just one or two..
  6. Oh, I can tell you a story about a very bad caching day last week! I had 4 caches on my list for that day. Cache one was a litlle multi-cache that I had a DNF a few weeks ago which was a little bit strange because I found the first stage with the coords for the cache and at that place I found a film canister which was fixed to ivy. But inside there was no logbook, only dirt After contacting the owner I found out that this of course wasn't the cache, the cache was somewhere else a few meters off the coords So I tried my luck here again, but couldn't find it. I searched for about half an hour and found some interesting things, but no cache. I guess I will give up this one... I am still not sure if I am not able to find it or if it is gone. Next cache on my list was an easy one, but magnetic and hanging very high. I had brought along a tool to help me reach the cache. But when I arrived at the cache location I found that the cache was gone That was DNF number two on that day... Cache number 3 was just around the corner. I searched and searchend... looked for the hint, didn't understand the hint, searched, searched.... couldn't find it, the arrow on my GPS was pointing here, then there, then back here... too many possibilities for a magnetic film canister. So I decided to go for cache number 4, which luckily was an easy find I returned to cache number 3 and searched for another 15 minutes before I gave up. 3 DNFs out of 4 that day... that was really frustrating...
  7. The answer was 25. Thanks... my answer was wrong Still wondering about the new one...
  8. Congrats, Tooey!!! What was the right answer? I am curious if I was just too late or too late and wrong
  9. I guess you can play as often as you want, but you can't win again...! (Or you can guess the answer and send it to me )
  10. I sent an answer, too, but I am not sure about this one... I was never good with this sort of puzzles! But I have to try In about an hour I am away again and I can't play again, so I just have to try! Edit: argh, I forgot to add the question title , had to send it again...
  11. It should start this weekend, and still no coins here, too An update would be great!
  12. Oh, I really like this coin! It makes me smile! Congratulations to your new coin!!!
  13. Oh no, now there were cointests when I was NOT SLEEPING, and what was I doing? I was out caching with matlock75! A wonderful way to miss the cointests, but I still want one of these beautiful feathers... Congrats to the lucky winners!
  14. OK, the thing I was waiting for arrived today, and now I can pack my mission and send it out. Not sure about it anymore, but not sure what to send instead of it
  15. No coin mail for a while (how could there be coin mail, no trades made and no money for coins ), but yesterday the two OusKonNe & Cetyla Coins arrived!
  16. Oh, I guess I am too late to send an answer with the socks question Away for the weekend and stayed in bed with a bad headache yesterday I missed a lot of cointests for feathers! But I am always sleeping anyway when Sarah asks their questions But it's fun to read through all of the cointests, to guess the answer and to find out if I am right just after guessing Congratulations to all happy feather winners and thanks to Sarah for her generous cointest!
  17. Congratulations to all winners so far! I missed all cointests from yesterday on, had to do other things that kept me away from the computer... and I will be away from the computer for the whole weekend Well, I will try to guess with the latest questions, maybe I am lucky today
  18. This looks like a cool coin! I like everything that spins and moves, so I guess this coin is for me
  19. Congratulations to all new goofy Cachers! This is such a wonderful coin. Each time I look at it it just makes me smile No matter how bad I feel, after I look at it I feel so much better. Thanks so much again, Goofy Cacher, for sending me such a great gift!
  20. Congratulations coreynjoey and Holger! It is good to see that we get more and more Geocaching Angels. We really need them, we need you!
  21. Those feathers are beautiful Congratulations to all winners so far!!! And of course thanks for all the cointests so far! I guess I have to change my sleeping times to get into one of them... or I have to solve one of the really hard ones that no one else can solve
  22. Yes, a cache called "Geocoin Micro #3" There is a laminated copy of a geocoin inside the film canister for us geocoin addicted to discover (a real coin wouldn't fit and wouldn't stay there for long...). A perfect place for a visit!
  23. Congratulations to all who received or found one of those beautiful coins I promised to post some pictures of that wonderful Japanese garden in Bonn that I visited recently. Now, here are the pictures Unfortunately you can't see the Kois very well
  24. Congratulations to all new Geocaching Angels It's great to see how more and more deserving people receive this wonderful coin
  25. Today I got my 500 Finds Geo-Achievement Coin These are not very beautiful coins, but I just had to buy one for me after finding my 500th Cache last saturday
